You're welcome sister but it goes back to what I mentioned to you last week. I'm getting old and worn out. And I'm making more typos cuz my eyes is gettin bad.
Just to share somethin (please excuse me for gettin off a bit) I had a run-in with a high school student a lil over a week ago. A white kid 14 yr old. In a speacial ed class. He started asking me questions and then made a statement to me about "Black Wallstreet". I told him he didn't know what he was talking bout them he jumped up started flashing signs at me talking bout "5 duce", "been there done that" and a whole lot of other nonsense.
Never in my life have I had anyone confront me flashing signs and coming up on me. But here I am in a suburb of Dallas getting flashed. It got me pretty heated because I left LA after teaching in a school in a fairly affluent area near LA high and latinos and black was rumbling on wilshire blvd on days we had staff development. So I know it's real, but there is so much confusion based on what folks read or hear on the internet and in the press that it's virtually impossible to convince them otherwise. So, Imma hold my peace on this the best I can.
I don't really need to convince anyone of who I am or where I been and what I done. I always been one step ahead of the law and never got locked down because I never got snitched out and never crossed no one. And I'm from more than one "set" because I'm from the ROOT not the branch if you know what i mean. And it all got to do with where i grew up, who I grew up with and who I "federated" or "allied" with. From north to south.
If folks can't respect that I have nothing more to offer and like those african secret societies will start keeping more Knowledge and Wisdom inside the Kin group.
This speaks to the issue I was having with younger brothers in LA. Sharing with the the way things were, how things started, but they had no respect for the brothers who were liberation fighters that started these "gangs" when Cointelpro locked them down. Yet, the young bucks wanna claim "OG".
The irony is if they wanna blame even the EME then look at why a hit was/might have been put out on them. If you try to rip folks off of their "grind" you bring heat on the Hood.
Don't blame the "heat" when out there doing as Cube would say "Dumb ish".
So lets say Im wrong and the BGF, etc did align with the Aryans against the latinos, then what are Black folks complaining about?
What is to be expected when you side with the KLAN?!
